Spotted On Bedford Avenue: (words fail me, a photo is somewhat better)

When I spied this item on a passerby while waiting (and waiting) for the B62 bus this afternoon I did a double-take. I have seen a lot of unusual things during my peregrinations in north Brooklyn— but R2D2 as the Virgin of Guadalupe? Well, this was a first. Once I collected my thoughts I asked the gentleman whose body this masterpiece graces as to what his motivations were. His answer was as follows:

I decided I didn’t have any tattoos that were nerdy enough.

Mission accomplished.
